Stolen Rights-Another Instance.
Readers, allow me to submit to your
consideration few propositions.
On page 500 Ordinances of Denver, Re-
vision Of 1885, you viii find that it is un-
lawful to erect any tent within the FIRE
limits of the city of Denver, without tho
consent of the city council. The penalty
for violating this ordinance is fine of not
less than 81 nor more than S25. The rich
erect tents in their yards for their enjoy
ment, and nothing is said about it. At
any rate there is no danger of fire being
communicated from a tent to a brick or
frame building. It is "class law" in an
extreme sense to compel one class to rent
Of the other; for family could easily live
the whole year round in tent. The own
ers Of land would hesitate about leasing II
to parties to erect tents thereon, as il
might establish bad precedent in depriv-
ing landlords of their revenue.
On page 597 of this Revision of Ordi-
nances you will find that the fire limits
have been fixed SO as to take in nearly the
whole city. Oh, don't prate about land
lordism in Ireland, when we have it here
just as bad. Fellow-serfs, "whither are w
drifting?" JUSTICE.

This outrage Of D. A. 40, to the brothers

upon by every knight of labor, trade un

After doing the work that has been done
on this coast for New York brothers in

issued, giving our time and money freely
for their benefit: then to have them to re-
pay our efforts by making Knights OF

Of the Pacific Costs most bitter enemy,
is indeed the most heartless piece OF
treachery ever practiced upon a brother
hood. Judas Iscariot was an angel COM
pared to such traitors.
Comrades, the dough-faced, Doodle
skunks of humanity on the Atlantic Coast,
have thrown the gauntlet" of treachery
in your teeth, of the Pacific Coast. Are
you going to play the "baby act" and
meekly submit to this outrage! I say
arouse! each and every one of you and
hurl the scurvy trick back upon their
heads, with rebound that will make their
ears jingle in way to be remembered in
all coming time.
Get to your assemblies, unions and
leagues and resolve with peremptory de-
mands, that those Chinese charters be re-.
scinded without further ado.
Give them the choice of eating the
beast, queue, hide and toe-nails, OF in fu-
ture to count this coast out of the order;
that this straw will surely break the
'camel's back" and that back shall be the
Rocky Mountains. H. NJ. BURNETT.

Irrigation and Doctor Wheeler.

Doctor Wheeler seems to be getting
worsted in his man litigated cases with
the ditch companies. The doctor is an
intelligent man and ought to take tum-
BILE. Can he not see how monopolies
through class law have robbed the citi-
zens of their dearest and most sacred
rights; that if he would attend the meet
ings of the Union Labor Club and Social
League he would get his eyes open still
wider?
The true solution of the problem, doc
tor, is to have the state furnish the water
irrigation. Come and join us all ye who
are oppressed in that behalf and we will
do you goo'. B.

Do you know that it is fact that in
Denver in large establishment wherein
are employed many persons of both sexes,
two detectives are constantly engaged to
keep watch on employees to ascertain
how they spend their money. Last week
one Of the unfortunates was found with a
silk handkerchief and discharged.
If some of the female clerks could dis
charge one of the proprietors they would
be safer. By the way, if detectives should
follow said proprietor they would find
out much about his intrigues into family
circles. If certain doctor knew how his
wife obtained such costly garments h4
would get on to her game about getting
remittances from the East. The lecherous
"old boy" may run against a snag one of
these fine days, then he will wish he was

Please allow me little space in your col

made by the recent county convention of the

by the temperance mass convention held IN
Lawrence May 4th, which protest was or
dered to be telegraphed to Lansing and also
published in the county papers.

hearty sympathy with that body in its work
for saving the souls and bodies of the people
by striving 10 Danish the curse of strong
drink from the land, and il is painful for me
to differ from those love and who. it may
be, are much wiser and better than /; but,
painful though il be, justice to myself com
pels me to say that consider the action of
the w. q. Il. Il. convention unwise and I'M
lust. Unwise, because it tends to ALLEVIATE
temperance workers, prejudice them against
the w. c. L. u. and cause division in tenn
perance forces and, also, as possible him
drance to legislation which might prove
much more effective than our present very
defective liquor laws in restraining the liquor
traffic, and thereby save some who might
otherwise fall victims to the destroyer. I'M
Just, because by that action the w. 4. Il. L..
refuses credit To the motives of our brothers
who sustained those resolutions, when they
said they were only in favor of the contem-
plated legislation as the best O6tdiHd6ie at
present, and who placed themselves on
record as in favor of constitutional prohibit
ton first, last and all the time; and because
il virtually, if not openly, charges them with
selfish and partisan motives. The spirit
manifested seems akin TO the spirit of the
disciples who said to the Lord, Master, we
found one casting out devils in Thy name,
and we forbade him, because he .t0iL0loed not

Your correspondent voted for those resolu-
tons las did some other members of the w.

that the proposed Legislative enactment
would be step far in advance of our present

that his conscience would not allow him to

county; his sons all grew up temperance
men, who all voted for constitutional prohi-
